I
quit buying the trades after Volume Four, as the double dip game was
getting old back then. I've since quit that merrygoround of upgrade
insanity. The first two-thirds of this book were a reread for me, and
if you want to see what I thought about Volume Three and Volume Four,
feel free to click the links.
We
see everything tied together nicely in the fifth arc and are brought
to a satisfying conclusion. Fatale is/was a fantastic series.
This was easily the best thing that Brubaker and Phillips did...until
I read Kill Or Be Killed.
Junk
Food For Thought rating: 5 out of 5.
The
OCD zone-
This
is the part where I go into tactile sensations and materials used in
physical media. Those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or
women who are pregnant should exit my blog at their earliest
convenience, as their safety cannot be guaranteed beyond this point.
Paper
stock:
Thick coated stock with minimal glare.
Binding:
Sewn binding. I dislike the squared spine found on so many hardcovers
these days. While they look pretty on your bookshelf they are less
enjoyable to handle when you actually read your books. Does anyone
actually read these books though? It seems like collected edition
fans buy stupid amounts of them and they sit unread.
Hardback
cover notes:
Image printed on the casewrap. No dustjacket required. The coating on
the casewrap is matte and is resistant to scuffing.
